\"\"<\/a>As DVCon expands, we at Mentor Graphics have grown our sponsored sessions as well.\u00a0 Would you expect less?<\/p>\n

In DVCon\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> recent past, it was a tradition for the North American SystemC User Group (NASCUG<\/strong><\/a>) to sponsor a day of activity before the official start of the conference.\u00a0 When OSCI merged with Accellera, the day before the official conference start grew to become Accellera Day<\/em> with a broader set of meetings and activities covering many of Accellera\u2019s standards.\u00a0 This has all grown into a more official part of the DVCon program.\u00a0 On Monday at DVCon \u2013 or as many still call it \u2013 Accellera Day<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the tradeshow now joins in opening.\u00a0 I covered this in detail in an earlier blog<\/strong><\/a>, so I won\u2019t repeat myself now.<\/p>\n

The pre-conference education and meet-up to discuss the latest in standards development is joined by an end of conference tutorial series<\/strong><\/a> that has expanded to allow four parallel sessions from three.\u00a0 Instead of the one tutorial we at Mentor Graphics would otherwise sponsor at DVCon, we will offer two in this expanded series. Given the impact verification has on design it would seem right that more time be devoted to topics that address this.\u00a0 One half-day tutorial is just to short to give the subject its due respect.<\/p>\n

The two Mentor Graphics sponsored tutorials at DVCon, to be run in series, will devote a day to explore the application of current verification technology by us and users like you.\u00a0 If you are already attending DVCon, you are making your tutorial selections now.\u00a0 And for those who might only be interested to attend the tutorials themselves, DVCon offers a <\/strong>tutorials-only package<\/strong><\/a> ($145\/Tutorial).\u00a0 Mentor\u2019s two tutorials are:<\/p>\n
